Donate a book to the IASC children’s free anti-bullying education program.

Bullying leads to runaways. 60% of runaways are approached by traffickers within the first 48 hours of running away. Once trapped, they have a 1% chance of escaping, and a 7 year life expectancy.

We can stop bullying before it even starts! Our free school education program brings anti-bullying training, and education ideas like a writing competition to your school. And, yes, it’s free.

$35 means we can donate a book to that school. $50 means we can donate a book both to that school, and also to the library. … More Donate a book to the IASC children’s free anti-bullying education program.

Uganda finds their power – in taxation!

Uganda is showing the power of modern, specific, taxation: targeting rich, white, western companies, and with a young population who crave social media – it’s a war Ugandan’s could easily win.

When countries build sources of legitimate & fair income – it’s a win for everybody around the world.

INCREASE TAXES!
Governments around the world are being asked to increase their taxes on BLACK barcodes – products that have not been inspected to ensure safe and fair work conditions.

Those taxes to be used:

50% to develop a green barcode project in their country
50% to help the country improve working conditions for all, and increase departments like the WorkCover Authority to ensure safe working conditions.
